"Say cheese!" It wasn't hard to get a smile on Lars Adema's face after his crazy win at the 2nd WUTTO Vriendenschaar Open 2014 in the Dutch 'cheese city' of Gouda. After his fine win in the semi-final against Marty Hendriksen, he had to beat Vincent Blom in the last match. If he would have lost, Avanti winner Maarten Loeve would have accompanied Martin Groenewold to London and not Lars Adema.

In Hazerswoude, The Netherlands, during the 2nd WUTTO Avanti Open 2014 there was a great fight between home favorite Martin Groenewold and 'rookie' Maarten Loeve. What no one expected did happen anyway. Not Martin but Maarten took the trophy and gained many points for the qualification for the World Championship of Pingpong in London in January 2015.
The final match could not have been more exiting. Maarten was the best in his very first sandpapier tournament. He scored the last point in the deciding fifth and on his very first match point.
